Link to hayagriva examples

When adding to a bibliography, I often keep a tab open to the example entries in the Hayagriva repository. I've mostly memorised the basics now, but still refer back to the examples from time to time.

I don't suggest copying the examples, but it would be worth linking to them to in this book. I find them really useful and think others would too.

Best practices for splitting large document

Location: no idea, hence this issue

Importance: everyone should split their work :)

Discussion from a conversation on discord, I'v learned that

1. #include is the current best way to include sub-files like chapter
2. There are not preprocessing directives so using custom variables must be put in a template.typ

Snippet:
main.typ

#include "ch01-00-intro.typ"
#include "ch01-01-part1.typ"

ch01-00-intro.typ

#import "template.typ": *
#lorem(100)

template.typ

#let pcite =cite.with(form: "prose") 

I feel that this should be expanded to best practices in general but this is the only thing I've found so far :)

Overridden labels in diagraph

Hi, there is a problem in the "Overridden labels" example in Diagraph, you did not include the labels dictionary so there is nothing overridden.

The actual example from the package repo is:

#raw-render(
  ```
  digraph {
    rankdir=LR
    node[shape=circle]
    Hmm -> a_0
    Hmm -> big
    a_0 -> "a'" -> big [style="dashed"]
    big -> sum
  }
  ```,
  labels: (:
    big: [_some_#text(2em)[ big ]*text*],
    sum: $ sum_(i=0)^n 1/i $,
  ),
)

Split long tables in a figure

Location: not sure where, in the table section ?
Importance: tables inside a figure don't split correctly.

Snippet:

// Without this, the table fails to split upon several pages
#show figure: set block(breakable: true)
#figure(
table(
